can I use this with airtags and integrate in homeassistant? #4

Open luciandf opened 3 months ago

luciandf commented 3 months ago

I have a few airtags and a homeassistant server, but only my wife has an iphone. I would like to use this to integrate and view the airtags in HA so I can also monitor them on my HA android app.

Is it possible? Or this only works for DIY tags that can be made to use the apple findmy network?

cheers

P.S.: if this works for airtags, is there a way to deploy this with docker compose?

The approach to query those tags from Apple Servers is identical for DIY and original tags. So, in theory it would be possible to use this project with original tags from Apple. The catch is that there is no way to obtain the necessary key information for the original tags. Unless you have this, you cannot not query those tags.

Home Assistant integration may be possible, but certainly requires some code changes. I am not an expert on this

Docker Compone: yes, should be possible. Makes a lot of sense - specifically with the anisette server. It could make things easier to deploy. Haven't looked into it, yet.

thanks a lot for the clarifications! there is another project i found called findmysync which somehow manages to get the location information. the catch is that it runs on an apple device only. maybe the secret is in there somewhere. get the key from an apple device and then use it in this system. i have no idea what i am talking about obviously! :))
